Starting to feel guilty for playing thanks to ignorance towards the game.

Unfortunately they aren't joking. My dad, who treats me as though I'm still in middle school, has threatened to take my car from me if I continue this. I think what's worse is that all of my friends are back at college, playing together and I'm here in a different state being bashed for doing what everyone else is. It makes me never want to come home again honestly. They have been very negative towards my gaming habits as I've gotten older especially. They don't think a 21 year old female should be playing games. I may play a game evey other few days too, so I rarely even get the time to play anything anymore. But when I do, I get looks if disapproval or comments about it. It's like, okay, I'm sitting here playing a game when I could be out getting shit faced or snorting cocaine. They act as though they'd prefer me doing option 2 lol.

I don't know anymore, I just got really bummed earlier because the insults kept coming, and it honestly just took away the fun. :( Thank you for your comment though. I've met some really awesome people through this game and I think it will do even more wonders when I head back to college in a month. I just have to block out the negativity somehow.
